Magnolia lost her first tooth tonight! Lower right central incisor. She is so excited. Yes, she was still awake wiggling away at it until it just now fell out- at 10pm on a school night...
Anyone know the going rate for the tooth fairy???

Happy Birthday to Me
This past Sunday was my birthday.
I think I'm now officially middle-aged.
It was a lovely, lovely day. It started out with me moling in a bit (sleeping late), and then being thoroughly spoiled by Chris bringing me coffee & the paper to read in bed. He also brought a beautiful birthday card that he & Nolia made. So sweet. Then we made pancakes for breakfast. Nolia & I mixed up the batter and then Chris cooked them (they have a tendency to come out black if I'm responsible for the cooking part). Then David went down for a nap and the rest of us bumped around the house & yard. That afternoon was Nolia's ballet recital. SO CUTE! I got all teary watching her & her little ballet-mates. Adorable. Now she is thrilled because she can play dress-up in her costume (it was off-limits until after the recital). She's also wanting to wear "real" makeup all the time now (she wore it for the recital, and LOVED IT!).
That evening Chris threw me a little potluck supper birthday party. I had set up the blow-up pool on the back deck earlier in the day, and all the kiddies frolicked in it during the party. Luckily no one had the idea of jumping off of the swing into the pool. I was a little concerned that might occur to someone. Chris grilled chicken and folks brought lots of other yummy things. Joy brought the birthday cake- chocolate ganache cake from Fresh Market- heaven in a pastry box. Later there was a jam session. Nolia, Zach & Ella took turns playing the kid-size guitar while the fellas picked a few. David was completely enthralled by all the people, and didn't get sleepy until rather late (luckily he'd had a really late second nap).
Lovely, lovely day. I'm very blessed with a wonderful family and fabulous friends!
